The sister of violinist Gil, the younger Shaham lists Mozart's "K. 466" as the reason she became a pianist. She performs it in St. Louis March 26-28. Mozart first played Mozart. He premiered his 20th piano concerto in Vienna in 1785. The “466,” as Orli Shaham refers to the “K” number of the work in musician shorthand, is one of only two that Mozart wrote in the minor key. It’s not as though the composer “shied away” from the m...23.03.2010 Celebrating Chopin: Commemorating the Composer's 200th BirthdayPenn Ballet's Roy Kaiser describes Chopin's music as "beautiful and haunting." For nearly 200 years, Chopin has been engaging pianists with his lyrical melodies, distinctive rhythms, and complex harmonies.Pennsylvania Ballet’s solo pianist Martha Koeneman finds Chopin’s music both alluring and difficult. “The music is so lyrical, so full of nuance, so liberating to play because it flows so naturally.” Yet in some works, “huge intervals have to be spanned smoothly and in velvet fashion in one hand at a rapid rate of speed.” Melodies are expected to sound ligh...18.05.2011 Andrey Mells и Bestseller в FM-ClubAndrey Mells - Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Piano, Keyboard, Percussion.

Чтоб траву, как встарь, косой косили, каждый день летали до ЛуныSub Pop, 2006Стиль: пост-рокЛучший трек: Writings On The Wall«Чтоб траву, как встарь, косой косили, каждый день летали до Луны». Александр ДольскийЧетвертый альбом калифорнийской группы можно довольно четко разобрать на составные. Это барабаны (живые, обработанные, электронные), клавишные (тут и Rhodes Piano, и орган, и басовый синтезатор), приглашенный виолончелист. В паре треков вы услышите гитару, но она тут совсем не нужна, в отличии от вокала — его появления превращают эту моторизированную романтику в милый аутичный поп. Джимми ЛаВаль, движущая сила коллектива, умеет так выстраивать повто...21.12.2009 Макси-сингл Мары «Целуя сердце»18 декабря вышел новый диск певицы Мары - макси-сингл «Целуя сердце».

Laurson about the ensemble's upcoming trip to the United States, programming choices, and other musical matters.On its nine-concert tour of seven U.S. cities (starting in Los Angeles on February 17th, ending in New York on the 28th), the program features four romantic warhorses—two concertos and two symphonies by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Brahms. Seemingly predictable stuff—especially for a conductor like Chailly, who is known for an element of surprise in his programming...
